Could we just end matches with less than half a team?

Seriously. It sucks chasing one guy around when it ends up 4v1. The match usually runs to the time limit. Why not just end it if too many people quit? I hate that one person that refuses to quit after their whole team leaves. IMO, Exterminations should apply no matter how much of the team is left. That’s the only way handicap matches might be slightly enjoyable.

lolno. If I’m winning and the game ends because my teamates quit, I’d be pissed. If my team quit and I was still winning 1v4 and it ended, I’d be pissed.

NO, that is not the answer…

ATTN 343i: In Halo 4 MP MM, replace QUITTERS with skill ranked ‘volunteers’ from a ‘DROP-IN’ playlist is what I’ve been saying since Halo 3.

> lolno. If I’m winning and the game ends because my teamates quit, I’d be pissed. If my team quit and I was still winning 1v4 and it ended, I’d be pissed.

You’d still win the match in that case, so what’s the difference? Same as if the time ran out.

Learn how to 1v4. Learn how to be a good Halo player! You would have more to kill. PLAY SMART!

I think the answer lies in severe quitting penalties.

I actually like when my team is down or its just me cause its oh so much more satifactory to win then. Some of the best fun Ive had is 2 v 4 with a good friend.

You’re not listening. I don’t mind being 1v4 if I"m the one. The problem is it sucks for the 4. The match takes forever. I make sure I have a kill or two and AFK the rest of the match, cause I hate hunting for a single target.

Ohh yeah, I see what you mean. I have had one match on Pinacle where everyone on the other team quit except one, and all that one did was commit suicide as fast as he could so he was constantly respawning. The end score was like 40 to -29

I think a better solution would be the person with no teamates is not penalised for quitting.

i think they should end it if there is less than 4 people in the game

This.

The amount of times my team quits in MLG because we’re facing a team of 4 or they didn’t get the map/gametype they wanted is ridiculous. Obviously there’s no point in me playing by myself vs 4 people on MLG CTF so I have to quit and therefore get penalised.

The only 1v4 I stayed for, I won (other team had an eclipse, too). Great game, almost steaked em too.

> I think a better solution would be the person with no teamates is not penalised for quitting.

this indeed

How about an instant 1 million credit reward if any one of your teammates quit but you stay in the game, to ensure that it’ll always be a 3v4 and never a 1v4.

Actually, on second thought, that would just blatantly encourage network manipulation so nevermind.

There is no way to implement that without considerable strain for the developer or clear ways to exploit it. If a player is stuck on a team of randoms that all left, that person should not be penalized for it. Nor should a team be awarded for the cowardice of half the other team. But ending it in a draw would create another issue. If such a feature existed, then a losing team can leave (or half of them can leave) to ensure that the foes do not gain credit for their legitimate victory.

lol I can imagine that!

Joins game

“Hey guys whats up- …Ohhhh”

Looks at score

Sees enemy banshee

Sees enemy scorpion

Sees only 2 people left on team

Leaves game

how bout this:
its 8v8. 4 people on one team quit. There is 12 people left. Take the team that is still full and set them in a 4v4 at a certain map. Take the other 4 people and put them on 2v2 on a certain map. tada.
Thoughts?

Just looking at the reaction people get when they are made alpha zombie when a zombie quits on living dead tells you this is a bad idea.
